Guidance, Voice & Word

Today is 1st May 2011, i.e. Labour Day. At this hour, I am sitting alone in the living room, checking out FB, chatting with friend and playing games. Oops, I have forgotten to do some research on our coming soon trip :p

There is a struggle in me, and I know I need to pray to God to find out the cause of this struggle. Is it career? family? relationship? church?

I went to pray today and the Pastor told me to cast everything unto God for He would be my guidance at all times. Also, she asked me not to fear to step out and do whatever that God wants me to do.

One Pastor told me I need to have a listening ear; to listen to God's voice, and also to people's voice; and I need to tell out what I have listened.

Another Pastor told me to read the Bible, because from there I would be able to find answers.

Are these three [3] prayers linked or detached? May the Lord grant me His wisdom and peace...

Sometimes People Come Into Your Life

by Alice Weng Yin Chan on Thursday, 07 April 2011 at 23:40
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, coworker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), *but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.*
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
*Everything happens for a reason.*
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. *Even the bad experiences can be learned from.* In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
*Make every day count.*

Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish.
Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

*Most importantly,* *if you LOVE someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.*

And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.

That's The Story Of Life.

Would you, would you not?

by Alice Weng Yin Chan on Monday, 28 March 2011 at 23:58
I came across an interesting conversation and would like to ask:-

If a guy says he likes girls with long hair, would you keep it long for him? Likewise, if a girl says she likes guys with six packs, would you train yourself hard to get the six packs for her?

Just a general question, if someone you like says they like a certain type of characteristic/personality/traits, would you change yourself for him/her?

The above question may sound ridiculous, but I think it is something quite realistic. We still have people who would do something like that. What's your say? Youths, any opinion on this?

    • Samuel Chan just if the guy know the benefit to have six packs, and the girl also by having long hair. if they know it, then they will keep it, if no harm and also able to keep it, im sure they will sure commit into it. but if really cant make it, just let the other half to know the reason and im sure he/she will understand it.

    • Jocelyn HuOy WHY do we need to change ourselves because of the person's requirement. Change ur apperance because of a guy.....hmm, childish lo, but if that guy is LEE HOM then it's another special case! haha. If the person loves u, he/she will accept everything of u, i guess everyone knows about this? I am strongly do not agree that we keep our long hair because tht guy love to see and has this "special" requirement. We are unique in God's eyes, we are pretty/handsome in our parents eyes!

    • Alice Weng Yin Chan I have few friends who made a change due to their partner's comments; personally I would like to think that there isn't a need to make a change for the other half, because love is about accepting, rather than changing. Nonetheless, if the opinion given is for my own benefit and for a better me, rather than his own preference (selfish desire), I think I would give in :)
